ColeopUrn in Sussex: A siippleme/it to the " Victoria Connty Ilistury^^ list. 

 — The list of beetles given in the " \'ictoria County History " of Sussex is very 

 incomplete as regards localities. There are very few records from the county 

 west of Brighton, though this, perhaps, is a move productive district than the 

 eastern half: there are the sand dunes of Littlehampton, the marsh-land of 

 Selsey, the salt marshes of Chichester Harbour, etc., and the downs are far 

 more thickly wooded. In the list below we give some additional localities for 

 species already in the above-mentioned catalogue, and add a few others which 

 we have taken in the county. In the list the following abbreviations have been 

 used : — S.D. South Downs ; F. The flat low-lying area south of the Downs ;
